Yappy Father's Day!

Good Morning!! Today starts a new challenge over at the Paper and Such Challenge blog and I do so hope you'll join us! The challenge theme is Father's Day. Yep! That's it! Super fun and easy! Today I've combined two Paper and Such sets in my creation - Deer Dad and Patriot and Friends.

I started out with the sweet Lab image from Patriot and Friends. I inked him with Momento and colored with my Copics. I decided to pair the kraft cardstock with red and keep it crisp and simple. I pulled together a grouping using my Tim Holtz mini-rosette die, a punched circle and two rustic twine threaded buttons.

My sentiment is a combination of the two sets. I snipped apart the "Yappy Birthday" sentiment from Patriot and Friends and combined it with the "father's day" sentiment from Deer Dad to create a sentiment that would become a perfect "dog to owner" sentiment. (I know all you pet lovers out there will understand!;) I trimmed it out using my MFT Fishtail Flag STAX Die-namics.

I'm a stay at home wife to my darling hubby of almost 19 years. I'm also a homeschooling Mum of 3 small, beautiful, delicious and often sticky children and a gorgeous and sweet pitbull named Katie.
I've always loved art, crafting and photography. I find time every single day to work one or all of these into the mere 24 hours that we have daily. I find it fulfills my soul, my mind and keeps my "zen" in check.
